Chapter 399: Heavy Snow
"Although my Lin family is not the leading family in Jiangnan, it is also the number one in Jiangnan, if the marshal does not dislike it, I, Lin, am willing to do my best for the marshal and serve the dogs and horses!"
When Liu Fan heard this, his heart was slightly warm, he didn't expect Lin Tianbei to come today, it was this idea, it really surprised him, he smiled slightly, and then helped Lin Tianbei up.
"The head of the Lin family treats me like this, Liu, I deserve it!"
He looked at Lin Tianbei, his eyes were slightly embarrassed, but Lin Tianbei was happy when he saw Liu Fa's appearance, Liu Fa did this, which already represented the recognition of himself and the Lin family, he finally put his mind at ease, and the coolness behind him at this time was slightly eased.
Lin Tianbei wants to carry forward the Lin family, and Liu Fa wants to take revenge, these two people really feel a little late to see each other at this time, Liu Fa needs to borrow the power of the Lin family, he not only needs the Xiao family and the Lin family, what he needs is the power of the entire Jiangnan clan.
Just when Liu Fa was preparing for the Northern Expedition, Shaowu Hengyong was still worried about the war in the northwest in the imperial capital, he wanted to take Wolf Mountain, regain the glory of the past, and let the world admit that he was a well-deserved son of heaven, and he was much stronger than his father as the emperor, so that his own merits could cover up his evil.
Speaking of Liu Lian, he and Yue Hu's army continued to go north, but the weather became colder and colder, the mountain roads became steeper and steeper, the ice and snow roads became more and more slippery, and the climb was extremely difficult. I don't know how long I walked, but suddenly my eyes lit up. A vast lake of smoke and waves trembled in front of me.
The lake is huge. Narrow and tortuous. And on and on. The water is as smooth as a mirror, as clear as the morning dewdrops. The surrounding hillsides are covered with spruce, birch, and willows, and on the west side of the lake are several exquisite pavilions, which are reflected in the water. With the sparkling waves, it is charming and moving, like an earthly fairyland.
Everyone has no intention of watching the scenery, they only know how to move forward, and Liu Lian also knows that the road ahead is difficult and dangerous. Follow Yue Hu's side and convey Yue Hu's orders along the way. According to Yue Hu's instructions, the soldiers had already collected leaves and withered vines, made thick robes and draped them over their bodies to protect them from the rain and cold. It's ugly. But that's where it comes to mind.
Liu Lian's body is the warmest place to wear the ground. After all, his body is still a little weak, and he is a scholar, everyone feels sorry for him, and they secretly stuff their clothes into his bag, which he is wearing at the moment. Before leaving, his wife made new clothes for Yue Hu. It was Yue Hu who specially added the ground for him. Although it is several sizes larger, it is not a problem to keep out the cold.
The further you go, the heavier the wind and snow. The north wind mixed with snowflakes whirled on the face. I can't even open my eyes. The cheeks hurt when they were beaten to the ground, and the pain was even worse when they were frozen.
Hazy rain and snow. In the distance, the sky was ignorant, nothing could be seen, and there was nothing in everyone's eyes except snowflakes. Looking down, there was rain and snow beneath their feet, and countless death traps, ice cubes, water caves, and avalanches were buried underneath, and no one knew what awaited them on the road ahead.
Yue Hu straightened his color and said, "Yunding Mountain, you find a few elf capable brothers to tie ropes and explore the way in front!" Remember to put safety first. I'd rather be slower than aggressive. ”
It's easy to go up the hill and hard to go down. This is especially true in the rain and snow. Although it was the first time for everyone to cross the snowy mountain, in the face of the vast snowy road, everyone was unconsciously vigilant, and the people of Yunding Mountain formed an expedition team to move forward step by step, and the army lined up in a long line, marching extremely slowly, and Yue Hu was at the end. Double-check if any fighters have been left behind.
"This ghost weather, ghost weather!"
Some soldiers were scolding, muttering, their mouths and faces were full of complaints, on such a cold day, they still have to recapture Wolf Mountain, not to mention picking up arms against the dog Rong and riding barbarians, even if they can get to Wolf Mountain, I am afraid they will have no combat effectiveness.
"Stop!"
I don't know who shouted, the Great Xia soldiers all raised their heads, only to feel that their feet were shaking, as if the sky was falling apart......
The wind roared and rumbled on the snowy mountain. It was as if the rock had collapsed. Skies of ice and snow. It is as fast as a rushing river. Impressive. Poured down in an instant.
The ice and snow collapsed in an instant, with a terrible roar, rolling down layer by layer. The mountains of ice and snow are like monstrous waves rolled up by the flood peaks, roaring, rolling, and setting off waves of snow that are higher than waves, swallowing everything in an instant. This sudden avalanche made everyone's hearts tremble.
The power of this avalanche was extraordinary, and the snow waves covered the sky, and the originally gentle snowflakes instantly turned into extremely sharp hidden weapons, shooting overwhelmingly and hitting the body and face, causing pain. Landslides caused by avalanches came one after another, and countless snow-covered slopes suddenly collapsed, and the loud rumbling sounds came and went.
I don't know how much time passed, but the rumbling sound gradually stopped, and the rushing snow slowly stopped. Snowflakes are falling. But the momentum has waned considerably. Liu Lian was buried in the snow nest and had already been piled up into a snowman.
He struggled to raise his head, revealing his cheeks, red from the cold, and in a trance, he shook his head vigorously, and the snow fell from his hair. It fell on the face and hands, and it was cold to the bone.
The peak of the snow-capped mountain was cut off in an instant, and the original thick snow disappeared. From the top down. On the hillside, sometimes high and sometimes short. Everywhere you look, you can see high snowy peaks and deep underground landslides.
The snow and mist rumbled up. Blanket the sky in a snow-white blanket. Newly piled snow peaks. The height is dozens of feet. And the caverns of the collapsed ice. It's even more bottomless. It's not close yet. You can feel the chill of the forest.
"Thankful, lucky!"
Seeing that the snow-capped mountain in front of him was cut in half, Liu Lian's heart was cold, fortunately, someone shouted to stop the army, otherwise these hundreds of thousands of people would be buried in the heavy snow.
In front of heaven and earth, people seemed too small, too worthless, although it was cold, Liu Lian still wiped the cold sweat that came out, and immediately stood with Yue Hu again, his eyes became heavy.
"Order the scouts to speed up, no matter what, we must cross this snowy mountain today, go through this section of the road, and the next will be much better!"
Yue Hu wiped the snow water off his face, and he didn't know where he got out, he looked particularly embarrassed, this avalanche, I don't know how many ice holes appeared, it was really chilling, and all the soldiers did not hesitate, they all accelerated their speed at this moment, and Yue Hu said that they had already walked over quickly.
Although the road to the snow-capped mountains is difficult to walk, it is not too long, the most important thing is that there are too many soldiers in this army, hundreds of thousands of soldiers, there are firehead troops, baggage troops, their courage is heavier than others, so the speed is also the slowest.
After a day and a night's work, I finally crossed the snow mountain, seeing that the wolf mountain was getting closer and closer, and the road behind was getting more and more difficult to walk, not as Yue Hu said, after the snow mountain, even if it was safe, because there was no road ahead, and the snow closed the mountain, it was impossible to distinguish the path at all, let alone to the wolf mountain.
"What about the scouts, let the scouts go out to explore the way, have they all been sent out?"
Walking up to now, Yue Hu didn't know where he was now, he had no choice, so he had to order his soldiers to set up a big camp here, stationed here first, as soon as they heard that they could rest, the soldiers under his command were really relieved, such a long road, almost no time to stop, walking here, I am afraid that I have to rest for a few days, the snow covers the mountain, non-human can stop it, Yue Hu's head hurts, but there is nothing to do, now they are almost in a desperate situation, and now the future is unknown, If there is any problem in the back road, then he will have to meet the king of Hades with the hundreds of thousands of Great Xia soldiers under his command.
"Report, General, Lord Liu asks to see you!"
Just when Yue Hu was having a headache, a voice interrupted Yue Hu's thoughts, Yue Hu raised his head, waved his hand slightly, and motioned for Liu Hu to come in, Liu Hu was not polite, bowed slightly, and then walked over, looking at Yue Hu, a trace of heaviness flashed in his eyes.
"What's the matter?"
Yue Hu looked at Liu Lian and motioned for Liu Lian to sit aside, because the weather was very cold, so in Yue Hu's military tent, the charcoal fire was extremely vigorous.
"Well, there is one thing, and it's quite eager!"
"Again, you don't have to go around in circles!"
Yue Hu saw that Liu Lian's face was a little wrong, and then frowned, his heart sank inexplicably, and he had some ominous premonitions.
"There is not much grain and grass in the army, it is only enough for seven days, and the road behind is very difficult, and I am afraid that it is difficult to supply grain and grass!"
As the saying goes, the soldiers and horses have not moved, the grain and grass go first, since ancient times, the grain and grass are the most important things for the march and war, to fight, always have strength, no strength, empty stomach, how to fight, hearing Liu Lian say about the grain and grass, Yue Hu was really shocked in his heart, he frowned, and said in disbelief: "How is this possible, when we went out of the Shuitian County City, didn't we bring a lot of grain and grass?" ”
"Such a way, alas, ......"
Liu Jian smiled bitterly, didn't say anything, looked at Yue Hu, shook his head, Yue Hu heard it, and immediately understood what Liu Jian meant, indeed, it was he who imagined things too simply.
"That's it, that's it...... It's really ...... God bless me Daxia! ”
Yue Hu shook his head, he was already a little desperate, and Liu Lian on the side was also silent, such a ghost weather, unless their class teacher returned to the court, they would either starve to death here, freeze to death here, or be buried in the snow......
"Send someone back to Shuitian, no matter what, you must send grain and grass over, this matter is the most important thing now, don't tell the brothers, lest the army's heart is unstable, alas, I hope this road can still be walked......
After being silent for a long time, Yue Hu finally spoke, and he had no good way but to let Liu Lian do his best, and he could only resign himself to fate......
